I must first say that I'm not a big sports fan. I liked mixed martial arts and skateboarding in real life. I don't watch football, baseball, or any of the other so-called "jock" sports. I've tried playing baseball video games in the past and could never really get into them because I found them too complex. So I wanted somethin that leaned more to an arcade experience than a sim and The Bigs fits the bill perfectly. It has a perfect balance of Sim and Arcade style gaming. I just find this game very enjoyable. Great graphics of course. The pitching system gives you great control over different pitches.

ONe of the best things about the game is the rookie challenge mode. In this mode you start out as a brand new rookie and it takes you through the basics and teaches you how to play the game with mini games and exercises, scenarios, and short games. It is very well thought out to help newbies learn the game and get good. I opened probably 15 achievements in the first few hours of play.

I don't know how it compares to the other baseball games out there cause I don't play those but it's the perfect game I was looking for. I get the baseball experience without having a game so complicated it takes all the fun out. But that doesn't mean it's an easy game that you will just run right through. It is challenging. You can set it on an easy level also.

Very addicting and fun. Highly recommended.
